In the following question, few sentences are given with two blanks in each. Select the pair of words that best completes both blanks in all the
sentences, ensuring the sentences remain grammatically correct and contextually appropriate.

(I) Before we proceed, let’s ___________ the ___________ that all users have equal internet access.

(II) Before finalizing the policy, we must ________ the ___________ that remote work boosts productivity for all teams.

(III) To avoid confusion, we should ________ every ________ behind the budget forecast.

The correct answer is clarify, assumption.

To determine the pair of words that best completes all three sentences, let's analyze the context of each sentence and test how the option fit both grammatically and contextually:

Sentence (I): "Before we proceed, let’s ___________ the ___________ that all users have equal internet access."
Here, the first blank requires a verb in its base form following "let's", and the second blank requires a noun that refers to a premise, belief, or precondition (such as an "assumption"). "Clarify" (meaning to make clear) fits well as the verb, and "assumption" (meaning a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof) fits contextually as the noun.

Sentence (II): "Before finalizing the policy, we must ________ the ___________ that remote work boosts productivity for all teams."
In this sentence, "clarify" serves as the action needed regarding a premise before finalizing a policy, and "assumption" represents the unverified belief about remote work productivity.

Sentence (III): "To avoid confusion, we should ________ every ________ behind the budget forecast."
Again, "clarify" acts logically as a verb aimed at preventing confusion, while "assumption" describes the underlying premises used for financial forecasting.

Therefore, the pair clarify, assumption seamlessly completes all three sentences while maintaining proper grammar and context.
